  What is intelligence? The book I'm reading tries to answer this question, and in my opinion is doing a really good job. The author's suggestion that the framework for creating an artificial intelligence would be definitely along the lines of a single, universal cortex algorithm of some kind is fascinating to read about, but the real interest comes from its possibilities for the future. I want to build a AI myself, and this book helped me further iron out the kinks in it.
  One of my favorite parts so far is his description of his realization that he wanted to create a little bit older than when I decided to try when I have the money. In just the parts of the book I've already read I've been shown something that while implied, wasn't totally clear to me. To me, this book will be one of great value in the future, even it is only a sketch in comparison to the detail necessary to make it a full fledged theory.
